AND now Senator Flournoy has writ
ten letter in which he endeavors to
prove that the anti-caucus Democrats
are not to blame for the extra session of
the Legislature. The caucus Democrats
and the Republicans have made SINH

no one is responsible for it. But all the
same the tax -payers will have to foot
very heavy bills of expenses. We don't
wonder that they all dodge the respon-
sibilty, but the guilty legislators should
be made to suffer as we'll as the long

THE bill now before the West Vir-
ginia Legislature for the regulation of
railroad charges should be gotten into
the best and wisest shape possible and
promptly passed. 1t is modelled after
the Interstate commerce act, modified,
of course, to meet local requirements.
One Of its most important provisions is
the establishment of railroad commits
sion. If good men are appointed to fill
the places the commission can be Of the
greatest benefit to the people of the
State. Several States, including New
York, have such commissions, and they
settle many vexed question with fair
ness and satisfaction. While the bill
should be framed so as to fully protect
the people, the fact should be kept in
sight that the railroads are entitled to
some privileges and rights. A moderate
bill will be of greater benefit to our cit
liens than an onerous and oppressive
one, for the railroads will fight to the
bitter end any sort of injustice, while
many of them will acquiesce in a fair
and equitable law.

SEVERAL newspaper correspondents
writing on the political situation la
Jefferson county have either by design
or accident gotten their statements
pretty far from the truth. Writers on
all three sides of the question have been
biased in their views and their illusions
have been cOntorted in every way. A
Washington correspondent of the
Wheeling Intelligencer last week gave a
somewhat overdrawn account of the
election in this county, which drew
forth most dismal bray from genuine
specimen of E. asinus writing from
Charlestown. This specimen finds 1t
necessary to correct the other writer
by deviating still further from the truth,
and lies without rhyme or reason. He
winds up his ridiculous TRADE by read.

MRS. MANTLE'S TRAGIC DEATH.
A Post. Mortem Examination Fails to Disclose
Any Evidence of Foul Play.

Coroner Wagner. assisted by Drs. CARRIER and
Vernon, held post-mortem examination of the
body of Mrs. Sarah Mantle, yesterday afternoon
Some Of her relatives suspected that there was
some foul play connected with her sud
den and somewhat mysterious death,
and had the postmortem held. AL
the organs, however, were found in good condi.
ton, and the stomach contained no poison.
blood vessel was found ruptured at the base Of
the brain, and it was from that that she died.
Her right arm was bruised, and there were other
evidences that she had been roughly handled.
Death, though, resulted from the rupture of the
blood vessel, which was caused by overexclte-
ment
Mr. Mantle turned over to the coroner letter
he said he had prepared several days ago. when
he was considering selfdestruction. 1t covered
three sheets of letter paper, and its tenor indi-
Gated that Mr. Mantle was not of sound mind
when he composed it. 1t was dated on the END
inst In substance it said that If his present
troubles were continued he would become
derangeJ and to that he preferred
death. His only request that the parties
who had wrecked his household should be
brought to Justice. He then went on to give
history of himself, saying he was married in
London in 1870. In 1874 he came to this coun-
try The Taggart boys had preceded them and
he employed Daniel to work for him. The init
macy between Taggart and his wife, he alleged,
began at once In July, 1874 his wife
and his sister had q quarrel, and
he sided with his sister. From that
time he and his wife rever agreed. In 1876,
when Daniel Taggart -ued to Europe on a
visit he alleges that his kissed him good
bye, and that added heat to his jealousy. After
Taggart's return tho intimacy. he says, was re-
newed. The letter goes on at length to recite
his suspicious of recent date.
Mr.. Taggart says het seen Mrs Mantle
for four years prior to ,ath. and denies all
the charges made agail n.

The people of indianapolis have been treated
to two exhibitions of fine base ball playing in
which the home team distinguished them
selves. Although the Detroits won both
games, SO far as the number of runs show,
yet the Indianapolis club played them close
game on Thursday, and greatly out-played
them at all points yesterday. It is demon
strated from these two games that the club
that wins ball from the indianapolis
nine will have to play for it. It is also to be
said that, under the operation of the new
rules the game is much more enjoyable than
heretofore. while with an umpire such as Mr..
Doescher has proved himself the game is
greatly freed from the blctches that so marred
it during the last year or two. However, there
was too much tendency to ''kick" and to
''guy" yesterday and it is possible that the
umpire will be compelled to exercise some of
the power the new rules give him. He
should not hesitate to do it, and the spectators
should aid rather than hinder him.

1T Is mistake to suppose that natural gas,
when we get it, will of itself do all the work
of building up the city. 1t will not. It will
simply be an added advantage to be utilized
by wise and liberal management. It's benefits
may be almost entirely counteracted by the
grasping and short-sighted policy of real es-
tate owners. We do not know if there is
reason to apprehend such policy on the part
of our real estate owners, but it might easily
happen that by putting an exorbitant price on
land manufacturers and investors will be
driven away. They are not obliged to come
to indianapolis. There are plenty of places
where they can 60, and it is safe to assume
they will not go where prohibitory price
is put Oh land. If the city is to be
built up and its population increased
it must be by enlarging our manufacturing
interests-that is to say, by getting new man
ufactures Our large land owners hold the
key to the situation. If they will adopt a
liberal, broad-gauge. public-spirited policy in
this regard they will reap large results them
selves and confer great benefit on the CITY,
On the other hand, if they pursue cut-throat
policy and place prohibitory prices on their
land they may strangle the boom in its in

THE prosecuting attorney of St. Louis hav-
ing casually remarked to a reporter that all
women are liars by nature, and their testimony
Is witnesses comparatively worthless, ard the
reporter having published the same, one Mrs.
Merriwether, in behalf of the insulted
and enraged st. Louis sisterhood, has
addressed letter of remonstrance
to the attorney through the press.
When the indiscreet gentleman reads the
communication and finds himself called a
brutal blackguard," an Ignorant coward,
narrow of heart and brain, and confronts the
charge that his ideas of woman can only be
entertained by those who associate with the
lowest and vilest of the SEX then will he feel
that it is not merry weather, but is, on the
contrary, very cold day.

THE gas find at Brightwood is interesting,
and may prove important. That gas exists
there is demonstrated beyond doubt but the
extent of the deposit remains to be seen.
Even if it should not be sufficient to supply
the city it may be sufficient to supply Bright

lance. Brightwood is a promising suburb of

THE desire for imported preachers must b.
very unpalatable to our native clergy, for it
casts reflection on them, on their pety or on
their eloquence; and yet OF old the American
pulpit was distinguished for its power, and was
even illustrious throughout the religious world.
Is it declining in ability. or is this preference
for imported pastors only an expression of a

very desirable, and if there is method by
which it can be rendered lasting, at cost not

would be well for those who have the matter

it at least among the possibilities, and not, as
is now the custom, refuse to give attention to
its claims at all.
